I applied online. I interviewed at FTI Consulting (Washington, DC) in May 2025
Interview
I was contacted and initially spoke with a screener from HR. Within a week I had a virtual interview with two senior directors that went well. They warned me the next step would be a few weeks out b/c the sr. managing director was leaving for vacation. Within a week of the SMD's return, I had another virtual interview and got a job offer about a week later. Everyone was engaged, friendly, and responsive to my thoughts and questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What are my other areas of expertise outside of the focus of this job.
Initial call with recruiter to ask about interest and why FTI, This was then followed up by 4 rounds with team members across different grades - directors, partners etc, In each round, there was a case study as well as a behavioural component. They like to really dive deep into past experience and your interest in the role.

Question 1
Why FTI? Why this role? Why this industry? Why you?
Recruiter phone screen
30min Behavioral interview - asked more technical questions than I was expecting based on what the recruiter told me
Technical interview - in person
Final Round - did not make it to this round
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at FTI Consulting
Interview
Possibly the worst recruitment process i have ever experienced.
The emails were extremely unprofessional, with no content, titled 'Hi from FTI' asking me to set up interviews with no proposed dates or named stakeholders. At times, i had to chase multiple times before any response to set up a following interview.
After a lengthy process and difficult communication, and interviewing with 7 different stakeholders, a generic email was given, with no feedback.
Based on this experience, i would not have taken a job at FTI.
